There are 24 patterns.

The life of a human being, perhaps 100 years, can be considered as a day when compared with eternity. Therefore, we mortals are no more than simple travellers who pass by the eternal years of an eon in a day.

It is evident that no one can live more than a limited amount of time. Nevertheless, most people foolishly enslave themselves to materialism as if they could live for thousands of years. And some people strive to bequeath a good spiritual legacy for coming generations, in this way, gaining immortality. Obviously, the spirit is perpetual while material is not. Therefore, what we can do to leave behind something for the welfare of mankind is, perhaps, the most important thing in our lives.

Here I leave Taekwon-Do for mankind as a trace of a man of the late 20th century.

The 24 patterns represent 24 hours, one day, or all my life.

will my children and I be safe at the club?

An important part of our schools is that we give a friendly, professional service. Over the bank holiday weekend in August 2017 we had a course on child safety and wellbeing for club members and trained up several people to become Child Safety and Welfare Officers within the club. Thank you to Jill Pearce BTC Representative who came to Verwood and ran the course.

As a club we are pleased to announce that ALL our club Instructors are not only fully DBS checked and First Aid Qualified but we now have Child Safety & Welfare Officers. This course is sanctioned within the B.T.C and UK Sport recognised along with backing of the NSPCC.

If you have any concerns or issues which you would like to speak to in confidence about and don't know who to talk to, then we now have the following people who can act in an impartial way and pass on your concerns to peolpe who can deal with any issues that need looking into for the students welfare.
